Well, the same would apply to the term 'Eskimo,' to be clear. The Inuit would not exactly line up around the block for that label, being imposed by an imperial power. Just saying. In the future, I will refer to the Edmonton football club as the Eeks. My apologies to native groups or rodent lovers who may be offended by these developments.
I remember a scene from the movie, “Mystery Alaska”, a TV reporter showed up to cover the hockey game between some local players and the New York Rangers, and referred to the home players as Eskimos. The Mayor of the town quickly corrected her that they are Inuit.
Of all the franchises when put into a corner -- in recent history -- Edmonton always competes. Always.

Well so far they are keeping themselves in the game while trading FGs with Gang Green!
I'm loving this Esks - Riders game with the Eskies ahead 10-7. Challenge on the possible turnover for the Riders though. And the TO ruling may be overturned!! GO ESKS!!
Seriously I really don’t think there will be a cross over this year unless the Als really tank and I don’t see that happening with the way they played the other night. They aren’t likely to beat the Ticats either!
